Using Xe MRI to Guide Radiation Therapy for Lung Cancer
This research study is looking at a new way to use MRI scans with a special gas called Xenon (Xe MRI) to get a clearer picture of how your lungs are working. The goal is to see if these detailed images can help doctors plan radiation therapy for lung cancer more precisely, protecting healthy lung tissue. Researchers will also measure your lung function using tests like spirometry and assess your quality of life with questionnaires. This study aims to understand how lung function changes after radiation therapy and if using Xe MRI can lead to better outcomes for patients. We are looking for 15 participants aged 18 to 80 years old. The study status is currently unclear.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study with a planned enrollment of 15 participants. The phase of the study is not specified.
- What's involved
- You will undergo Xenon MRI scans, pulmonary function testing, and complete quality of life questionnaires at baseline, during treatment, and at 1-month and 6-month follow-up visits.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- You will be followed up for 6 months after treatment to assess lung function changes.

What this trial measures
- The incidence of PFT evidence of radiation pneumonitis and lung function change on spirometryBaseline Visit, periprocedural, 1 month follow up visit, and 6 month follow up visit..
is the incidence of PFT evidence of radiation pneumonitis and lung function change. Change in spirometry will be reported as the mean±SD of these measurements for each treatment study visit, and the mean difference of these measurements from baseline.
